REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

1. BLUETOOTH PLUG
   You can connect directly to our Bluetooth Aptx / AAC wireless receiver X-FTB01 We evolve in an environment where dematerialized music is taking more and more place. Stored in diverse and varied devices (mobile, computers, tablets, smartphones, and other players), it only asks to express itself on hifi systems more or less elaborately, but more importantly with a rendering more «real» and natural as possible. The new audio wireless receiver X-FTB01 from Advance Acoustic does this with real talent. The X-FTB01 can easily be connected to any analog input of your amplifier. The X-FTB01 brings to you an amazing musical performance, combined with easy use.

2. PRE-OUT HI-PASS PRE-OUT (3) XLR PRE-OUT 13

3. UNBALANCED / BALANCED OUTPUTS
   Your PX1 preamplifier includes two stereo analog unbalanced outputs, the PRE- OUT, and the PREOUT HI-PASS. PRE OUT works on the full frequency range. The PRE-OUT HI-PASS works only with an active subwoofer connected to the SUB-OUT.
   You can also use your PX1 with the stereo-balanced outputs (XLR sockets).

4. OPTICAL AND COAXIAL INPUTS
   Smart PX1 has 3 optical inputs and 1 coaxial input. You can connect the digital output of your CD, DVD, etc… and use the high-quality DAC converter to obtain a better sound result.

    This analog audio output is for connecting a recorder with an analog audio input such as a cassette deck, MD recorder, etc. The output signal is not variable.

11. BALANCED XLR INPUT
    If your source has a stereo-balanced output, you can connect it to the stereo- balanced XLR input of your preamplifier PX1.
    Connector ground terminal: Chassis grounded The pin assignments for this terminal are given above. The amplifier uses the European-type XLR terminal.

12. INPUTS
    You can connect your stereo sources to those inputs. These inputs are suitable for any line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD players, DVDs, MP3 players, etc.
    Note: These inputs are only for analog audio signals. They should not be connected to the digital output of a CD player or any other digital device.

13. CROSSOVER FREQ. 150Hz/75Hz
    Switch this button to set the crossover frequency of the subwoofer at 150Hz or 75Hz. Broadly speaking, the 150Hz setting is for smaller subwoofers that don’t have much output below 100Hz. The 75Hz setting is for the conventional powerful subwoofers.

14. PHONO INPUT AND GROUND TERMINAL
    You can connect your turntable on the RCA connectors left (L) and right (R). Turntables normally include a single wire earth lead. Use the phono ground connector to connect this lead. Unscrew the terminal to expose the hole which will accept the lead. After insertion, tighten the terminal to secure the lead. You can choose a suitable Phono type(MC LOW/MM/MC HIGH) and phono capacitance (100P/200P/320P)

15. SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
    To connect an active subwoofer
